So wouldn't fog lights also make on-coming cars more visible?They make on-coming cars more visible, especially with the sun in your eyes.

My 2014 S calls out DRLs explicitly in the firmware, and they control the perimeter strip of LEDs that go around the headlight units. In the refreshed S, the same perimeter light (with the much smoother diffuser lens) is not considered a DRL?

Not in Virginia - 19VAC30-70-160. Auxiliary Lamps: Backup; Cornering; Driving; Fog; Spot and Warning.Driving with fog loghts on is illegal if there are cars in front of you. The rules are essentially the same as for high beam usage. (At least in most states.)
If they were amber and could be used independent of regular headlights, at least below a certain speed, I would use them a lot in my foggy neighborhood.
I did say in most states. For example it is in Oregon: ODOT: Some drivers in a fog over proper fog lights use
(7)When a vehicle is upon a highway a person shall light not more than a total of four lights at any one time that are mounted on the front of a vehicle and that each projects a beam of intensity greater than 300 candlepower.
(8)(a) A light, other than a headlight, that projects a beam of light of an intensity greater than 300 candlepower shall not be operated on a vehicle:
Unless the beam is so directed that no part of the high intensity portion of the beam will strike the level of the roadway on which the vehicle stands at a distance of more than 75 feet from the vehicle

Also fog lights should not be shining in your eyes... they work under the fog line which is usually about 4 to 12 inches from the ground and spreads to the shoulder of the road to illuminate the lines.... not oncoming traffic and good ones are usually amber in color..
Auxiliary/Spot/Floods/Off roads will blind the crap out of you...
DRLs aren't legal thing in the US, because we are so far behind. Other countries have requirements for them...
